Finally the Day I decide to start a blog ...whether it ends up surviving is the big question. Rather to restart a aborted attempt on HR Vitamins that I started in 2009. However post about a dozen posts I did not get further. So now I have archived the earlier posts of HR Vitamins. And to relaunch it in a new form barely couple of days after we celebrated the Birth Anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi means it is just the right thing to remember couple of his quotes that is relevant to us in organizations.
"The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world’s problem.”
how true? They say that we use very little of our potential and it would take some serious to do much more than we think we can.
Maybe Calvin Coolidge was probably right when he said many decades ago...that... unrealized potential is the most common commodity found in his country. (USA)
In 2009 Tata Consultancy Services drew up a very popular quest for it's associates when the CEO brought these three words as matter of focus for every one in the company "Realize Your Potential".
If one need is not met the operant behavior would be manifest to satisfy that need. This is similar to the Need Hierarchy of Maslow.
The second quote of Mahatma Gandhi that I would like to draw upon is
"Action Expresses Priorities"
People act on things that mean most to them. They need therefore they do... It is like the proverbial Maslows' hierarchy. You tend to go after things or prioritize based on what level of needs have been satisfied.
Then the question arises to your mind?....
Why do some people spend so much time finding fault with everything around? Have you come across this proverbial cribber... They made it their life motto to criticize to curse and to find fault with anything and everything from how the buses run in the city, to how the company conducts its business to how their better halves cook food etc.
